Trials Gear

I have been restoring a 1959 Triumph T20s Tiger Cub. The lower bottom parts of the forks are rusted too bad. Does anyone know where I could buy them or if another bike uses that part? PBill

Does anyone here use a boot dryer? Which type is recommended? My research has found 2 basic types, with many variations: Heated inserts. Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Core-Shoe-Boot-Dryer-Electric-Warmer-Heater-Disinfectant-Dryer-Black-Yellow/123470431372?hash=item1cbf69448c:m:m9LtIC_3vRWyqVThh9RMuDg. This is the cheaper and lower power consumption solution (about 20w) but works at a higher temperature. These are generally shown with trainers in the photos. The wire sticking out the back of the heel may be more difficult down in the depths of trials boots. Blown air, like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Portable-Folding-Timing-Elec…

What do I need to use on my oiled Gaerne boots to keep them happy? Boner

How should a trials helmet fit on your forehead? I’ve only been used to road full face lids, and my new Jitsie feels like it’s sitting rather high up on my forehead! Is this a thing? Cheers Boner.

Evening all, does anybody have a clothing size guide for Beta’s range of paddock clothing? Ive spoken to Beta UK who couldn’t help and I haven’t managed to find anything online. I’d like to buy my lad a soft shell jacket but don’t want to guess the size as he’s only 10. If anybody has a size small or medium could you tell me the measurements? Thanks!

Hi guys, New to the sport and just looking around at bikes. A friend of a friend is selling a 2012 Beta EVO 250 in vgc with a few bits and pieces. £2200. It’s hardly been ridden and looks mint in the pics. Does this sound about right for a 6 year old bike? Any advice would be appreciated. Jamie.

Could someone tell me how Gaerne boots measure up? I wear a size 46 shoe. Do I need to go up a boot size? Thanks.

i managed to put my kickstart through the upper part of my calf on sunday and figure some knee protection would be a good idea, but i cant tell from pics if any have much side protection or are just lycra socks to hold the caps on. cant anyone recommend anything that would offer a bit of protection on the sides, not so much impact more abrasion?

I intend to ride a club trial in 2019 could I use my 1969 pudding basin helmet as ACU tag still in it or will I have to buy a modern helmet

I could do with a new crash helmet, I like the idea of the Shoei TR3 as I use Shoei on my road bikes and they've saved my life in the past. But 1050 grams sounds a little heavy for trials? The Hebo Zone 4 Carbon is listed as 950g, albeit that's got a carbon fibre shell. Anyway, what do you guys recommend? A removable / washable liner is going to be an important factor, I'm quite sweaty ?

Has anyone tried the jitsie protective gear and what's it like to ride in ? Thanks in advance Mick

As the title suggests what wet/cold weather gear do people have/use/like? Especialy for Trials such as the 6day as the Scott. Currently I have a light weight Hebo jacket, a old soft shell jacket, standard farmers legging and seal skin socks. The sock are the only things I would total recommend for a wet/cold the other stuff does the job but not brilliant. Looking to get some fresh stuff so what do you suggest?

I've got a pair of Forma Boulder boots and just wondering what people do to clean them and maintain them, is any sort of wax needed ?

Thinking about a new set of boots. Gaerne Balance Oiled or Gaerne Balance Black? About £60 difference. Any preferences or experience? Thanks

What's the best budget helmet with plenty of airflow? By budget I'm thinking £100 or less.

Anyone know where i can get a rear lower vent for an airoh trr trial helmet? Thanks

Is there such a thing on the market as a intermediate throttle tube ? The new bike came with a fast action which I liked in most sections today but in a couple it was a bit quick and got away from me. I have tried my slow acton Xblox on it and did not like it as much as the fast.

I am coming to uk next week and i was wondering if their is any Shop near manchester or liverpool to test fit and buy some trials boots!!

I'm going to do the IOW two day next weekend, and I've signed up to do the road route. I have an Airoh TTR helmet currently, which doesn't have a slide out visor. I'm considering picking up a Hebo Zone 5 for £85 to use when I do more road work as it has the visor integrated. Do most people just use MX/Enduro goggles (I have plenty of them already)? Seems like a right PITA to me...

Hi! I'm looking for trials gear, but I really don't know about the sizing. I'm a big guy, 190cm/108kg and I'm looking for gear that would fit a bit looser than your average trials gear. I have no problem finding gear from MX/enduro gear brands, as they make larger gear that fits good as well. It seems like trials gear is always in XS-XXL sizes, pants included. Any other bigger guys here, what brand do you use, and which size are you using? I guess I'm between the XL-XXL range. I think I will have more problems with the shirt sizing, not so much with the pants. I have rather wide back/shoulders, as well as some good old belly. I don't want to look like a sausage while…
